PETALING JAYA: Everyone has a right to celebrate their own festive holidays, says the Permaisuri of Johor Raja Zarith Sofiah Sultan Idris Shah. “Tuanku Sultan Johor (Sultan Ibrahim Almarhum Sultan Iskandar), my family and I would like to wish everyone celebrating Christmas a happy and memorable time with their families and friends. “And to all Malaysians, peace and unity,” she said in her Christmas message posted on the Johor royal family’s official website on Sunday (Dec 23). “Instead of seeing shadows when there are none, I feel, as do my husband and our family, that everyone has a right to celebrate their festive holidays," she added. Raja Zarith Sofiah added that people of different faiths can respect the celebration of another faith’s festive holiday without losing their own.
